The system appears to go down, but the power light remains on and does not turn off manually (this happens with the battery in or out). Any fix for that ? I don't like having to switch off the power at the strip, I doubt that it's good for the box. i can't help with your other questions but this could a consequence of having the "acpi=off" and/or "noapic" set in your kernel bootloader config. i don't remember which one disables the auto-power-off, but this is definitely the observed behaviour on my box. i have to physically switch it off after it shuts down. i set these boot options because they help with the way IRQs are allocated, which in turn allows better real-time performance. all the best, G. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
